Cameron Carpenter Biography

Cameron Carpenter is one of the most popular and richest Pianist who was born on April 18, 1981 in Pennsylvania, United States. He is an electronic organist, who has been praised and criticised for his unconventional approach to organ music. He is well-known for his albums such as 2008’s Revolutionary. He also served as artist-in residence at Middle Collegiate Church.

Both he and Balysdvarionas were both well-known organists.

An “early” recording, made in 2005 and financed by the Allen Organ Company, was titled notes from the underground. This recording was a highly unusual project for Allen, as Carpenter was given near-complete artistic control of the album, selection of the program, and even oversight of graphic design (featuring location shots of Carpenter at famous New York City graffiti sites). This album was not reissued by Allen and is now a rarity.

Early in 2008, Telarc signed Carpenter to an exclusive five-album recording contract. His Telarc debut album, Revolutionary, was recorded as a CD and DVD at Trinity Church Wall Street in New York City and released September 23,

2008. The title comes from Carpenter’s transcription of Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude”. The album made Carpenter the first organist ever to receive a Grammy nomination in the category ‘Best Solo Instrumental Performance’ (without orchestra) for a solo album. His first commercial album was a 2006 CD/DVD, Pictures at an Exhibition, on SeeMusicDVD. It includes his arrangement of the programmatic piano work by Modest Mussorgsky, and his own improvisatory “New York City Sessions”. Visuals for the Mussorgsky were created by Marshall Yaeger and his Kaleidoplex. The recording was made at Trinity Church, New York.

His father was a foundry owner.
